Before I begin with author notes, I'd like to take a quick moment to apologize for the last 2 or more chapters...I haven't put much heart or soul into either one. I hope to revise them soon enough, and I pray they aren't as bad to you, as they appear to be to me! Thank you for reading and all those wonderful reviews! You guys are the best! Really! :)
Here we go...
AN- Yeh, well...here's the next chapter. Sorry for the terribly long wait! Find it in your heart to forgive me...maybe review this chapter as a sign that I'm forgiven? Hee Hee! Please, R&R!
Disclaimer- The usual, I don't own anything! Don't sue me! ^^;
Dedication- To my 50th reviewer! I'll email u soon, promise! :)

Baby there ain't no mountain high enough, there ain't no valley low enough, there ain't no river wide enough to keep my love from you babe...
-Dunno the artist, but I just watched Sister Act 2 and they played this song in the credits! It's very cute! :)
Green fire sprang with sudden anger that the man visibly flinched. Those eyes, filled with such strong emotion could make any man jump in fright. He wasn't about to act like a coward though, and managed to keep a grim expression plastered on his sweating face.
"So, you do know a Cloud Strife?"
Her voice stung with venom hidden within its folds of mellow sound. So calm, yet clearly filled with strength and harm.
"I, uh..." He grabbed his collar, letting some air enter the area of blistering heat, "Yeah, you could say I know him miss..."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Tifa's voice rang out in the meadow, as she laughed with joy and passion. Her eyes sang many song of love, as she gazed blindly and solemnly close to her life.
Her life gazed back, right into her own blind eyes, wishing desperately she would look directly into his own.
Wishing never worked for this guy though.
Sighing, he held her to his warm chest and her head moved with the rhythm of his steady breathing.
"I love you..."
His voice whispered so softly, Tifa almost confused it for the beautiful scented breeze that passed by in the meadow.
She giggled again, "You've told me that a thousand times already!"
He blushed, acting upon impulse to lower he face and conceal his embarrassing color. Bitterly, the reality of Tifa's blindness hit him and he almost sore out loud.
"I'm sorry, I can't help it!"
The flow of more laughter hit his ears and he almost died from the blissful feeling it brang. God, what would he do with out her?
"I don't mind hearing it another thousand times more, Cloud..."
He laughed this time, his head nuzzled his face in her silky tresses. Her hair smelt like the softest roses and the fresh mountain air all mixed in one.
It was so much like her. So unique but suiting her to the very core.
"I'll tell you another million times, because it's the same as breathing...I always need to do it...it's automatic."
"Cloud," Her breath had the smallest hint of mint and chocolate, "Kiss me, will ya?"
Cloud obediently obliged.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Miss, Cloud came by the stand to ask for the local jeweler and a map of the country..." Almost gasping, he barely dodged the mass of red as the lithe woman swung her head to face him.
"When?!"
He looked take back, "Yesterday...!"
Midori closed her eyes, and gently massaged her aching temples. This was so much harder then she thought, almost impossible.
Though, nothing was impossible for Midori.
"Did he mention anything other then business to you? Maybe were he was staying, who he was staying with?"
"I-uh, He..." He mumbled stupidly, "He said something about buying a ring for Tina or was it Taylor?"
"Maybe it was Tifa."
He snapped his fingers, "Why, that's the name! Tifa, it sure was!"
She groaned, leaning against the stall. Her head was pounding, and this idiot made it so much worse!
"Anything else?"
He raised his hand, and stroked his chin attempting to look intelligent. Midori just barely held back the sudden urge to call him stupid, beat the tar out of him and leave.
"Yes, he said something about going out into the country and proposing to the girl, Tifa!"
Midori gasped, "Are you sure?"
He shrugged his shoulders, "Sure as apple pie, my dear!"
Fighting the urge again, she wondered when it would take over her slowly eroding stability.
"Perfect."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"This is perfect!"
Tifa was having the time of her life, laying softly in Cloud's embrace in the middle of a meadow. She couldn't possibly ask for more in life, not when she had everything she had hoped for. More then she had hoped for.
And soon, she'd have a little Cloud of her own. A human baby, born from their love and passion.
"Why did you do this for me?"
Her voice rang clear into his ears, though his eyes were shut and his shallow breathing indicated sleep, he answered,
"Cause, I love you?"
Smirking she relied, "Nice answer."
"No, I wanted to ask you something..."
Sitting up, he brang them to face each other and he grabbed her face to attempt to meet their eyes.
"I wanted to ask you this for a long time," He whispered, softly tracing his thumb on her sleek cheekbone.
"...What?" She gasped out, closing her eyes. Her breath quickened, and she noticed the sudden clamminess of her usually cool palms.
'Look what you do to me, Cloud!' She mused in her head silently, laughing in her heart and wishing soulfully this would never end.
"I want you to truly know, you have been my whole life..." Kissing her lips so softly, Tifa almost thought she imagine his touching her own, "and you'll be life forever..."
"It's almost, as if I never truly was myself until I figured out I cared for you. I became whole when I learned you loved me too."
His hand fell from one side of her face, and by the movement of his body, she figured he was reaching for something in his pocket.
"I sound corny and I know I've told you a million times how much I love you already, but I can't help but let those words pass my lips one more time. When I die, they're going to be the last words I utter, when I wake up they'll be on my lips as the golden sun rises."
Tifa's hand reached to touch his own, feeling the soft but rough feel of his long fingered hands. From all the sword handling he did, he had amazingly wonderful hands that were almost soft like her own.
"Now, that we're going to have a child together...that love is growing even stronger with each passing second. I want to make it final, I want to be something in your life that's important..."
"Cloud, you ar-"
"Wait, let me finish," His other hand fell limply to meet his other. She heard the container or box open, and felt his hands gathering her own. Finally, the anticipating moment of cool gold slipped across her finger.
She tried to glance down at the ring, to see it's beautiful design and the way it shine in the setting sun.
...but all she met was the dark void of where her eye sight use to roam.
"Please, make me your husband? Marry me, I won't ask for anything more."
Her suddenly ragged breath grew even more course and she fought back the sudden urge to howl at the mighty god for taking away her chance at seeing his expression when he asked her for her hand in marriage.
"Tifa?"
How she despised this handicap, this curse and dreadful disease. Taking the things she would do anything for, like seeing his eyes hold that hopeful look that would linger in the endless ocean of blue. Or, the way she wanted her own eyes to hold the overwhelming happiness she felt at the moment.
She hated the way she felt bitterness at the same time, the way it was slowing eroding the happiness and grabbing her heart to strangle in it's grasp.
For the first time in her life, she wondered what to say when Cloud Strife would ask her hand in marriage.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"So there you are..." Midori smirked and held back the to cackle with glee. Standing in the middle of a wild flower field, the man she had spent searching for was in her sight finally.
It was so perfect.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AN- Ok, like a mention before...about the strike and everything? It lasted two weeks, and I did sleep in like I said I wouldn't! I can't help it! ^^;
Anyway, Thanks for reading! Tune in soon, for the next chapter in the series!
Do you have any comments? Or suggestions (Which I could use a whole bunch)? To tell you all the honest truth, I'm losing interests in this rapidly, (Which might be evident, due to the short length of the last few chapters). You got any ideas to add some spin and twist? Email me at: rainbow_angel_dream@yahoo.com
P.S. Sorry it's so short. :(
Here we go...
